Daily cases are not a worry surely, if its basically been rendered as harmless as possible, so just...dare I say it..a cold (in effects..)

I thought there was a 3rd wave already I'm losing track of time

Which was the country did things differently from all the other countries ??

Edit ..

Ah it was Sweden seemed to have a different strategy ..

The Scandinavian response to COVID-19 has revealed two differing approaches. Denmark and Norway decided to take preventive measures at a very early stage to stop the virus from spreading in their countries. Sweden, on the other hand, took a much less restrictive approach and neither imposed widespread lockdown measures on the population nor closed shops and public places.

Netherlands: outdoor events such as festivals, concerts, sport matches, congresses can be organised from July, minister set up cancellation fund

ok for me personally the countries who are doing a good job in this crisis

South Korea, Australia, New Zealand

but in europe, i like Denmark's approach of extra precaution, Germany does a overall decent job (ok u got anti-maskers not obeying rules but u got that in more countries now sadly) Merkel got good measures (i am sure Letsch will do a decent job too as Merkel's successor since he got same views, opinions basically)

Italy well Draghi made mistakes now with ''saving the economy'' which got them into a surge of new cases but hopefully they can get that down quickly too



as for my own country, Netherlands well i'd wish we go back into more lockdown measures again, i wouldn't mind if they decide now on no audience for ESC since i am not counting on that at all anymore, since u can't trust audience for obeying rules sadly

as for surge in new cases here, easily explained bc of schools, and some of those test events (why on earth did they get the green light )

I think we're doing a great job with the vaccinations.
If we can keep up we will be back to normal on no time.
I'm so excited for summer now.
I can go to the seaside

Netherlands: biggest winner of elections D66's Sigrid Kaag wants to get rid as fast as possible of the curfew measure, especially when we are getting into summer time next weekend, this is a measure which will cause more trouble then, and it has proven to have not much effect in slowing down the spread either
